American plans flights with Boeing 737 Max by year-end The Boeing 737 Max might be flying over the East Coast before year endFORT WORTH, Texas -- Before long, American Airlines might find out how many travelers are reluctant to fly on the Boeing 737 Max. American plans to put the plane back in its schedule by the end of the year, assuming that federal regulators soon approve changes Boeing made after two crashes of Max jets killed 346 people. A spokeswoman for American said Monday that the airline plans to operate a single daily Max flight from Dec. 29 through Jan. 4 between Miami and New York’s LaGuardia Airport, and American is reviewing its plans beyond that. The airline said customers won’t be automatically rebooked on a Max if their original flight plan changes. The first 737 Max crash occurred in October 2018 in Indonesia, and another crashed less than five months later in Ethiopia.
